Consent testing for GDPR, CCPA, Colorado, and LGPD
A CMP alone is not proof that your site honors consent. Tagmaps checks what actually happens after a user clicks, from the regions where each law applies.
Having a consent banner is not the same as respecting consent
Millions of consent implementations online are broken. CMPs that have not been configured to respect consent are not only non-compliant, they mislead users.
Tagmaps checks that not only is the CMP loading on every page, but that it honors both opt-in and opt-out consent in the regions that require it.
How Tagmaps tests consent
Tagmaps loads your site from various locations around the world, comparing your site pre and post-consent.
1. Baseline
Tagmaps loads your site from the relevant location and records what your site loads without any consent interaction.
2. Perform the consent interaction
From the same location, Tagmaps rejects, accepts, opts-out, or sends the GPC signal, depending on the test.
3. Compare and flag findings
Tagmaps compares your site behavior before and after the consent interaction, flagging any issues and findings

Consent testing FAQs
How is a consent test different from a normal scan?
A scan is designed to find everything that loads on your site. A consent test is designed to find what loads before and after a consent action is taken, and comparing those two states.
Do you test from the actual countries or states?
Yes. Tagmaps runs each test through a proxy in the relevant region. This is important, as many websites change their consent behavior based on where the traffic is originating from.
Does this replace our consent management platform?
No. A CMP is still a crucial piece of your privacy program, Tagmaps offers a way to validate that your CMP is implemented correctly.
